Seems like it. Coach O has made it his main point to invite ex players back.

Not sure why Les was dickish to ex players. Is it because he was somewhat of a controlling dickhead behind closed doors?

It may stem from many of them stabbing him and the program in the back by siding with their coach over their program.

Starts and ends with Ryan playing for Saban, I imagine.

Nah, Miles just didn't make it a point to embrace old/ex-players. The best way to describe him would be indifferent to them. He welcomed them and made things available if they wanted them, but he didn't actively engage them like O is doing.

I don't really think there is anything wrong with the way Les handled it, basically leaving it up to the player if they wanted to be involved, but it is a stark contrast to the way O is handling it and that is important at a time when the program needs some energy pumped into it.

I think he was just aloof at times. He was always friendly and personable toward me and I'm a nobody compared to former players.

I think there's more to it than just altruism though. Thinking big picture, Ed O knows it would lead to former players being more vocal and pushing him for the head job permanently.
